402. Responsible
Guo Jinian is sixty years old and young. He doesn't sleep much. He is also in a dangerous city and has a heavy responsibility. Recently, he has often suffered from insomnia and often gets up at night to walk around.
That night, he tossed and turned, saying that he could not fall asleep, so he simply got up, put on the city wall, started from the east gate area, patrolled north, and when he was about to reach the north gate, he suddenly saw a fire in front of him, Guo Jixing said, "Who is guarding here? What happened?"
In this winter, it is probably not easy to leave the water. Because there are all enemy troops outside the city, Guo Ji's first reaction was that someone rebelled, and many torches suddenly lit up at the north gate, which further confirmed his thoughts.
Guo Ji shouted to kill the thief and rushed over first. Behind him were the soldiers guarding the city who heard the news.
At this time, the Hebei army had already begun to enter the city. As soon as the first batch of more than 100 people entered the city gate, they suddenly saw an old man with white hair and beard coming first. Behind him were soldiers like wolves and tigers, and hurriedly drew out their swords to fight.
Guo Ji had the same ruthlessness as his ancestor Guo Jie. Although he was in his sixties, his skills were not slow at all and he cut an enemy to the ground with one knife.
He raised his head and suddenly saw Jiang Huang pressing the handle of the knife, standing under the city gate, his eyes not at the enemy, but at him staring at him fiercely. Guo Ji suddenly understood.
He glared at his eyes and shouted: "Jiang Huang, you have been very kind to the court, and you have done such a traitor!"
Guo Ji stood with a knife, his white hair was dispersed, and there was a trace of blood from the murderous person hanging on his face, as if he was ashamed. Jiang Huang didn't dare to look up at him, but just turned his face and waved the knife to his subordinates and said, "Who killed the old guy, rewarded a million yuan!"
Facing the people who rushed up, Guo Ji shouted angrily: "Do you want to rebel?"
For the million-dollar reward, these people's eyes turned red, and they didn't think about anything else. They cut Guo Ji to death at the city gate.
When the soldiers guarding the city saw that the commander was killed, they were all panicked and were killed by the Hebei army and retreated. Seeing that Luoyang City was about to be out of protection, a group of people suddenly emerged from the city, all of which were tall and strong young men. The leader was the fifth reincarnation of the school captain, and shouted: "Your Majesty the Emperor has returned to Luoyang and issued an edict to kill the thieves!"
Three thousand death-death men rushed forward and fought a bloody battle with the enemy at the city gate. The fifth lord was extremely brave. He swung his sword straight in, snatched Jiang Huang with one knife, lowered his head and cut his head, shouting: "The rebel Jiang Huang has been killed, the chief evil has been eliminated, Jiang Huang's troops deceived him, and those who do not know the truth will not be punished!"
After hearing this, many people joined the team of the fifth reunion and rushed to the Hebei army into the city.
The fire was bright, and the shouts of killing were heard throughout the night sky. The fifth reunion led 3,000 sharp soldiers to kill the enemy soldiers. When the sky was dawn, the north city gate that had once opened was finally closed again, but the city continued to kill until the sky was bright before the enemy troops entering the city were wiped out.
After Wu Lun settled Guo Ji's body, he sent someone to ask the generals to meet at the official office to discuss the next matter of defending the city. Among the main generals, the three captains of the Yulin Army and the Luoyang Weiwei were all present. They killed them in the middle of the night yesterday. These people joined the battle in the later stage, but the captive general Cheng Guang was missing.
In terms of position, Cheng Guang ranks first among the Luoyang military generals today. After Guo Ji died, he should take over Luoyang's defense. But he didn't know why, but he was not slow.
Wu Lun sent someone to invite him again, and soon someone ran over and replied: "Report to the lieutenant, General Captain left the city from the South Gate last night!"
Cheng Guang stayed in the military camp last night and suddenly heard a loud shout of killing in the city. Someone shouted: "The enemy has entered the city! Prefect Guo has been killed!" Cheng Guang was so scared that he did not dare to go to the north gate to fight, and took his men out of the city from the south gate.
His departure had a chain effect, and several generals led their troops out of the city. That night, nearly half of the troops in Luoyang ran from the south gate, but the disciplined Yulin Army was kept intact, and almost no one fled. Luoyang Wei should have his troops.
Everyone guessed that there were only more than 30,000 soldiers left in the city.
The fifth relationship said: "You are not talented. The prefect of Guo's death entrusted the important matter of defending the city. It is of great importance and dare not refuse. However, I am young and have little virtue and virtue, and my virtue is not enough to take on this important task. Please ask all those who are old and virtuous. You are willing to support me and protect the country together."
The oldest among the generals was Zhang Sima, but Zhang Sima did not want to carry the burden. He hurriedly said: "Since Mr. Guo entrusted the important task of defending the city to the fifth lieutenant on his deathbed, we should obey the order of the fifth lieutenant and regard him as the lord of the city."
At this time, the chief general who defended the city was definitely not a good job. The responsibility on his shoulders was too heavy. If he lost Luoyang, he would be responsible for losing his territory. The few people here didn't want to take this responsibility very much. So they all followed Zhang Sima and called for the generals who were willing to worship the fifth relationship as the chief general.
In this way, Wu Lun took over the burden of defending the city and became the temporary guard general of Luoyang.
He had already made up his mind and immediately ordered the dispatch of generals to be assigned to his respective positions, which was clear and clear.
Originally, after Guo Ji died, everyone was frightened and Guang fled. The city guards were reduced by half at once. All the generals were worried and they had no confidence in whether they could defend Luoyang and didn't know what to do next.
The fifth reunion stood up at this time, with a firm will, a clear mind, and a clear order. Everyone seemed to have a backbone again, and immediately took action and went up to guard the city.
The enemy attacked again. With such a serious reduction in troops, the guards were indeed a little short of difficulty. Within half a day, there were several dangerous situations on the city and almost broke into the city by the enemy several times.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the fifth reunion opened the Luoyang treasury and gave a huge bounty to inspire morale. In the Dongcheng, where the enemy attacked the most fiercely, opened the city gate and led three thousand death-death soldiers to kill them.
The attacking army did not expect that they would dare to leave the city. They were caught off guard and were defeated by the fifth reunion. When they saw it on the city, their morale was greatly boosted, and they cheered up and repelled the enemy's attack.
However, the lack of troops in Luoyang City was obvious in the offensive and defensive battle. The next day, Liu Xiu concentrated all his troops and tried to break the city in one fell swoop.
This was the most tragic battle in Luoyang since the offensive and defensive battle. The attack and defense sides fought from early morning to the sun was west, and there were many casualties and injuries on the city and under the city. The fifth Lun was soaked in blood and sweat.
He led a team of men from east to west, from west to east, running back and forth on the city walls, boosting morale, and rushing wherever there is a crisis.
But the enemy was determined to break the city in one fell swoop, and the offensive was tide this day and never stopped for a moment.
Wu Lun felt that his arms could not be lifted. He had water dripped from his hair and blood flowing from his face. He looked at the army outside the city, and had doubts about defending Luoyang for the first time.
Is today the day when Luoyang falls, is Luoyang the burial place of his fifth relationship?
